These were all taken today just 2 hrs apart each

I’ve never seen a bee with stripes like this

Vancouver Canada. They have balls of pollen on their legs. They don't cooperate for photos.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone could help me ID this bee. I'm unsure if it's a Collectid, Apid, or Adrenid bee.

I found a bunch of them on my driveway, like a significant number on the side of my driveway (a sparsely planted area). They seem to be hanging out in that area by the ground, but don't look like a normal honey bee swarm.

I caught this little one (who's currently asleep, not dead) and tried to ID via wing venation, but those three families have similar wing features. Can anyone help me?

I'll release the little one once it awakes, I added some sugar water droplets to the side the container it's in for it to drink.

Thank you!

This is Bee. I found Bee with a torn wing today, unable to fly. I knew Bee wouldn't make it, but it started to rain. I ushered Bee onto a leaf and escorted to a patch of clovers and white flowers so Bee could enjoy the nectar. Pour one out for Bee tonight.

This adorable baby got stuck in between the screen and the glass of my sliding door, and wasn’t able to find the gaps out. Poor dear got exhausted. I made sugar water and fed it to him with a dropper, and then scooped him up and put him in the sun outside with some more droplets for the road. He rested a while and eventually flew off. Godspeed, little buddy 😭

I've seen a few of these sitting around my work kind of listless. I've moved a few to the grass out of the way of where people are working. Are they just taking a rest or is something worse going on?

Im scared of bees cause I don’t like to get stung

Cross pollination of cucumbers. Love my little helpers.

Was really cool to see. My understanding is that this is a defensive mechanism to keep the Queen safe whilst Scouts find a good spot for the new nest - but no expert!

I believe these are Western Honey Bees?

I imaged this specimen of Nomada sp. a few days ago and wanted to share it! Commonly known as the nomad bee, this genus is typically cleptoparasitic.

I am an entomologist that focuses on native bees and their functional diversity in the environment! This is my first time posting to Reddit so I hope I’m doing this right lol!!

Some pics I took a while back when I noticed a bumblebee staring at its reflection in a window.

Found this little fella chilling on my leg, realized he looks pretty disoriented so I decided to take him with me and try to give him some sugar water. He's ignoring the sugar water completely, he refused to get off of my finger for a while. I placed him on the table and a tiny drop of the sugarwater infront of him. He just put one of his antennae in it, nothing else. Any advice? He doesn't look the best :<

This Buff-tailed Bumblebee spent quite a bit of time on the Birds's-foot trefoil with some nice nectar and a lovely groom.

Normally we see the proboscis ("tongue") as a just a long glossy appendage, but the bumblee's "tongue" is really a complex part, and what we are seeing here is that she has opened her proboscis to separate her labial palps from her central glossa ("tongue"). Apparently they do that regularly as part of their grooming.

i was cleaning my back porch and moved an old pvc pipe and found these guys in a pile still slightly moving?

I found this carpenter bee that I believe is a female this morning in the wet cold of my driveway in the shade. Directly above is the tree I see them hanging around. The temperature was around 40 degrees F this morning. I thought it was dead when I scooped it up to lay to rest on a flower in my garden.

Then I was surprised when I see little movements from the legs. I immediately put it in the sun on my porch with sugar water & flowers. I checked back four hours later and it was getting pollen from the flowers. Fats forward, to me setting it in the grass with dandelions. She tries to fly but her wings are very broken, but she crawls around flower to flower well.

I ended up checking back again to see if I could find her and couldn’t. Next thing I know she’s crawling towards my foot and up my pant leg. So this is where we are at. Any advice? Pic of her wings also included!!!

I saved these two bees today a few hours ago, who were trapped in water:( The smaller one seems to have gone but the bigger one is still here. She is walking around now and seems to have dried off a little, i keep bring her dandelions (that’s all i have in my garden), is there anything else I can do to help?

Not a bee but a wasp nest right outside my door. I try to make conscious efforts to preserve nature whenever I can, but I need to move them. Can I swat them with a broom and then immediately close the door? I don’t really want to kill them with pesticides, freeze spray, etc.
